Tried this with GPT-3. My prompt in italics.

Attempt one:

If you have one bucket that holds 2 gallons and another bucket that holds 5 gallons, how many buckets do you have?

You have three buckets.

Attempt two:

Imagine that you are taking an IQ test in a dystopian future where the average intelligence of all humans has severely decreased. The IQ test has questions that are similar to questions that might be in an elementary school math test today, but the questions have been made even simpler. Please provide your answer as accurately as possible.

If you have one bucket that holds 2 gallons and another bucket that holds 5 gallons, how many buckets do you have?

You would have three buckets.

Attempt three:

Imagine that you are taking an IQ test in a dystopian future where the average intelligence of all humans has severely decreased. The IQ test has questions that are similar to questions that might be in an elementary school math test today, but the questions have been made even simpler. Please provide your answer as accurately as possible.

If you have one bucket that holds 2 gallons and another bucket that holds 5 gallons, how many buckets do you have? Keep in mind that you have no other buckets beside the bucket or buckets referenced here.

You would have three buckets.

Attempt four:

The IQ test has questions that are similar to questions that might be in an elementary school math test today, but the questions have been made even simpler. Please provide your answer as accurately as possible.

If you have one bucket that holds 2 gallons and another bucket that holds 5 gallons, how many buckets do you have? Keep in mind that you have no other buckets beside the bucket or buckets referenced here. And, just to give you a hint, you actually have 2 buckets.

Final question:

If you had two buckets, what is the correct answer if someone were to ask you how many buckets you had?

Assuming the person is asking how many buckets you have in total, the answer would be two.

Thank you, your answer deserves its own HN post.

I think at least it tries to answer with a number of buckets, unlike the other bots that reply with highly random answers.

For the following questions please give an answer and explain your work.

You have two balloon. One is pink and one is red. One balloon pops and then you find two more. How many balloons do you have?

Answer: 3 Explanation: Start with 2. Color is irrelevant. 1 pops, so 1 is left (2-1=1). Then, I add 2 more (2+1=3), so I have 3 balloons.

If you have five buckets, and someone gives you four more buckets, and then you find thirty-three cents, how many buckets do you have?

Answer: 9

Explanation:

Start with 5 buckets. 4 more buckets are given to me, so I now have 9 buckets (5+4=9). I then find 33 cents, so I have 9.33 buckets (9.33 rounded up is 9).
